Quantum computing startup IonQ has announced its road map for the next few years. “IonQ will deploy modular quantum computers small enough to be networked together in a datacenter, by 2023 and by 2025, they expect to achieve a broad quantum advantage,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO in a blog announcement.
Based on Algorithmic Qubits metric
IonQ introduces a new benchmark, called Algorithmic Qubits. The company also introduced an Algorithmic Qubit Calculator to help customers to compare systems. IonQ’s roadmap is based on the Algorithmic Qubits metric. For the next few years, IonQ will focus on improving the quality of its quantum logic gate operations to continue to increase system AQ. The second focus of IonQ is to implement quantum error correction with low overhead and to scale the number of physical qubits to substantially boost system AQ further.
A single chip with the size of a half-dollar
Its systems will be powerful enough to achieve broad quantum advantage across a wide variety of use cases. The actual quantum chip is currently the size of a half-dollar and the company is now working on essentially putting the core of its technology on a single chip, with all of the optics that make its system work integrated.
IonQ has recently released 32 qubit system with 99.9% fidelity already features 22 Algorithmic Qubits, and this system is but the first of three new systems already in development.
